Note di degustazione
Dried flowers, tobacco, tea leaves and coffee lift from the glass in the 1979 Grands-Échézeaux. Although now fully mature, the 1979 will probably hold on for at least a few years, although there is no real upside from cellaring bottles further. The mid-weight, feminine finish is attractive, but also a touch fleeting.

Following a Chambertin ’72 from Rousseau is not easy, but I was not the only person amazed by the precocity of the Grands Echezeaux ’79. The vivacious nose is entrancing with tart red cherries, red currant and violets that seem half their age. It offers brilliant delineation considering its age, a bouquet with unbridled vivacity and joie de vivre. The palate is supremely well-balanced with an almost fructose-like entry – a feminine, pretty, pure Grands Echezeaux that puts profundity to one side and just wants to keep giving out pleasure. There is a sense of symmetry towards the crystalline finish that is a wonder to behold. This is a real surprise and moreover, you could imagine this bottle lasting another 20 years with ease. Tasted May 2013.
